Oh I do like to be beside the seaside sketches II


Having ditched the idea of a Skegness-style figure, I thought a couple of people would be more fun (and have wider appeal). Loving the pose of the John Hassall design, i.e figure so happy they're virtually dancing, I wanted to have a similar, celebratory pose. Thus the couple linked arm in arm skipping over a pair of sandcastles fitted the bill nicely. Okay, they are rotund figures. It's not politically correct. So sue me. The publicity will do my sales good, no doubt, so bring it on ;)
